Lorks! Jolyon - that was not my intention at all - I simply scanned the room for someone involved in the list and you were the only one I could see who was. It was not at all intended to be malign, and I must say I am completely shocked that you were offended by it. I was also simply pointing out the existence of the list as I had been asked to do.
Jolyon was not problematic in the launch and has never been problematic in launches - but Malcolm had been looking forward to meeting you he told me afterwards but it slipped his mind to ask after you, and you never came up. And as you say, you have always been extra helpful on the list. *Wow* 2009/10/13 Jolyon Smith <jsm...@deltics.co.nz> > I might have dismissed the comments as tongue in cheek too had Richard > simply added a “just kidding” to the end of his comments.
